Page 42 of Finding Chloe

“Thanks, Oliver,” we all parroted when we got up to leave.

“Pat.” I waved to him as we walked out. He lifted his chin in goodbye in return. I really should come into town more often to catch up. I seemed to eat, breathe, and work on the ranch these days. And spend time with Chloe.

“Are you going to let me see your red silk panties, kitten?” Hunter teased when we got in the truck.

“Hunter, you know I prefer lace.” She winked.

Thank goodness we were still in park, or I might have run us off the road. I snapped my mouth shut and tried my hardest not to picture Chloe in her red lace panties while I drove us around town to finish errands. How was it that Hunter’s teasing could turn me on?

By the time we returned to the ranch, I’d had long enough to recite all the mundane daily chores I did just to get my dick to stop trying to escape my jeans. Completely unaware of the heightened state I was in, Chloe hopped out of the truck and ran around to my side as I opened the door to get out.

“Thanks for taking me today. I had a good time.” She ran her hands up my chest.

Her touch electrified my body. “Anytime, Greene. It was enlightening. I could never do what you do.” I wrapped my arms around her and kissed the top of her head.

She snuggled in closer. “Just like I couldn’t do what you do every day.”

I wanted to stay like this forever. “You have time to help me study?” I rubbed the back of my neck. I hated asking, but it made it easier. I was able to focus in a way I struggled to do by myself.

She bounced on her toes. “Absolutely. I just need to get all my notes sorted, and then I’ll be all yours.”

I groaned. I definitely wanted her to be all mine.

“I like the sound of that. Is it bad that now all I can think about is tying you to a bedpost?” I said, my voice dropping low so no one else around us could hear. Chloe sucked in a breath, her eyes dilating.

“You and me both,” Hunter said, stepping behind Chloe so she was sandwiched between the two of us.What the hell? The muscles in my body tightened, and I held Chloe a little closer.

Yet… when a shiver ran down Chloe’s body, my body tightened for an entirely different reason. She loved having both of our attention. Sparks flared in my chest when she fisted the front of my shirt. “Maybe you can both do it.”

I nearly choked on my spit as I imagined Chloe tied to a bed, her body on display, dripping as I teased her… and Hunter watched. My cock hardened, surprising me.

Knowing how much Chloe would enjoy the two of us worshipping her wasn’t as off-putting as I thought it would be. In some ways, it felt natural, like an extension of providing Chloe pleasure. I said I would keep an open mind, but I hadn’t thought I’d truly be able to picture myself like that.

Chloe went on her tiptoes and kissed my cheek before turning around and doing the same to Hunter.

“See you in an hour.” I tugged on a loose curl before Hunter stepped aside, and Chloe headed to the big house. Hunter watched her walk away, just like I did. Her backside swayed with each step, and I had a deeper appreciation for those tight jeans.

Clearing my throat, I headed for the second barn, leaving Hunter still standing at my truck. I needed to check in with the guys to see what was left to be done for the lunch work, and I needed a few minutes alone to deal with my conflicting thoughts.

The guys had pretty much finished everything, so I went to my room and retrieved the note cards I needed to study. My EMT certification exam was in three more weeks, and I was nervous. I already had my Emergency Care Assistant license, since the Kingstons had asked me to get it, but I wanted to be prepared and get licensed at the next level. In case an emergency occurred, I wanted to do my part.

By the time Chloe found me in Willow’s stall, I had my colorful mare washed and pampered. I even had time to shampoo her so I could make her white spots shine. It wasn’t a normal occurrence, but I gave her extra time when I could.

Chloe stroked the mare on her velvety muzzle and then settled on the hay bale while she quizzed me. I didn’t have any chores, so I sat on the stack next to hers, leaning against the wall so I didn’t automatically pace when the questions started.

“Are you ready?” She nudged my shoulder with hers.

I nodded. “Lay it on me.”

“What are examples of open wounds? Compound fracture, bruise, dog bite, simple fracture, impaled object.”

“Impaled object and dog bite.” That one was too easy.

“Correct. Now your reward for a job well done.” Chloe grinned and kissed me.

“My favorite.” I ran my hand over her cheek before letting it fall to my lap.

She flipped to the next card and read the question. “What is the best option to open the airway of a patient with a suspected spinal injury?”
